Celebrating the Paris Olympics, Travel Lemming analyzed Google Trends to see which states are the most interested in particular sports.

New Jersey's Favorite Olympic Sport Is...

They found that New Jersey was not very fond of some of the bigger sports such as; gymnastics, wrestling, basketball, volleyball, and track, but something a little more niche.

The results were that New Jersey as a whole googled Table Tennis more than any other state, and is the ONLY sport New Jersey searched more than anybody else.

HAMBURG, GERMANY - AUGUST 25: A table tennis bat and ball lies on a table tennis table at the 'Hamburg tischt auf - 2.0' press conference on August 25, 2023 in Hamburg, Germany.

The report also revealed the following...

The US States that dominate the sports search

State	Sports
Hawaii	Beach Volleyball, Breakdancing, Canoe Sprint, Diving, Judo, Rugby Sevens, Surfing, Swimming, Weightlifting
Colorado	Artistic Swimming, Cycling Mountain Bike, Cycling Track, Modern Pentathlon

Montana	Archery, Fencing, Shooting
Rhode Island	Sailing, Trampoline
North Dakota	Cycling BMX Racing, Hockey
Minnesota	Artistic Gymnastics, Golf
Vermont	Marathon Swimming, Athletics
California	Badminton, Water Polo
Iowa	Basketball, Wrestling

Some of these searches do not come as a surprise. Rhode Island being mostly coastline, would naturally look for sailing. Iowa, having a known history of amazing collegiate wrestling programs, will most likely be searching for that.
